Why convert KGL to KG?
These formats sit on opposite sides of the Kagsa toolchain: .kgl is a distributable library bundle of Python code, and .kg is the plain Kagsa script a developer writes and the interpreter runs. Extracting a .kgl gives you Python files, not Kagsa .kg source, so there is nothing to translate between them.
How to convert KGL to KG
Write a .kg script that imports the library FREE
Instead of converting, keep the .kgl as a library and create a new .kg file that calls its functions from your Kagsa code.
Inspect the library with 7-Zip OPEN-SOURCE
Rename the .kgl to .zip and open it in 7-Zip to read the bundled .py files if you need to understand what the library does - but this yields Python, not .kg.
About these formats
A .kgl file is a compiled library for the KAGSA programming language, an interpreted language built on Python. It is a renamed ZIP archive that bundles the Python files (main.py and…

- Extracting a
.kglproduces Python files (main.py,__memory__.py), never Kagsa.kgsource. - A
.kgscript and a.kgllibrary play different roles, so there is no format-level transform between them. - If you want the functionality of a
.kglin your program, reference it as a library from a.kgfile rather than converting it.
Frequently asked questions
Can I turn a .kgl library back into .kg source?
.kgl contains Python code, not Kagsa .kg source, so there is nothing to convert back to.What is inside a .kgl file?
main.py and __memory__.py.How do I use a .kgl from my .kg program?
.kgl as a library and call its functions from your Kagsa .kg script rather than converting it.
